Lyrics
Amelia
(Allison, Ramsay)
ASCAP © 2003
You were the girl I knew
before the girl before
Then nothing mattered after that
You had a certain way
of keeping time at bay
Now what I?d give to get it back
?
And look at you now Amelia
I saw you in the street today
When I look in your eyes Amelia
I want to see it all your way
?
When everyday becomes
just like the day before
I think of things that might have been
I never knew when I had you
that you had me
Or what a puzzle I was in
?
And just look at us now Amelia
I saw you in my dreams today
And the look that you wore Amelia
It kind of gave it all away
?
And now I wonder constantly
Will you ever be here with me?
?
Well just look at you now Amelia
I saw you in the news today
The world?s in your hands Amelia
So dont you give it all...
No dont you throw it all...
You?re gonna need it someday...
You?re gonna have it all...
Just gotta see it all your way
